HOW WE MET...

Strike Team Love

Gloria and Joel met in August 2020 while Gloria was on a strike team to San Quentin. Joels work. Naturally, they did not speak to each other at first as Joel was not Glorias typical “type.” After weeks of persistance from Joel, Gloria finally accepted his offer to go on a date. Joel took her on a romantic dinner to the Olive Garden. They quickly became close friends, with joel moving in to Glorias strike team hotel which blossomed to true love.

THE PROPOSAL...

First comes covid, then comes marriage.

The night started much like the first date, the highly romantic Olive Garden. Joel wearing his most fancy Levis with a Copenhagen ring on the back pocket and a button up shirt which showed the profusive sweating from the nervousness of knowing what he was about to do. After dinner the two of them went and picked up the most sought after box of wine at the local Walmart and returned home. Joel jumped out of the truck and raced to the passenger side at which point he dropped to a knee as Gloria stepped out of the truck. He expressed his feelings and removed a ring from his shirt pocket and asked her to marry him. A few minute pause happened which I am sure it was from excitement and not about wanting to say no, but not wanting to hurt his feelings. After the pause she said yes!!! After the 30 seconds it took Joel to stand up (he is old) he gave Gloria a hug and told her he was happier than a tick on a fat dog.

For all the days along the way
